(0:21) First of all, Water Salad? You’re probably saying, “What the fuck is that?” I went to Japan and directed 3 spots for this product and I still have no idea what the fuck it is. I’m not even sure what the spots are really about. But, I do love random shit, and Japan is the best place for random shit. On set, the actors had to actually drink some of this Water Salad stuff for the commercial. After about 20 minutes of this, they all shit their pants. I guess the stuff wasn’t fully tested or something. This was a product of Coca Cola, and there were 3 Japanese Coca Cola executives on set. They would sit in the back of the stage and just stare quietly at everything we did. They kinda freaked me out. When the actors started shitting and running off set to go to the bathroom, I decided it might be best to stop shooting for a bit. As I was walking out of the set, one of the Coca Cola execs asked me what was happening. I said, “I think your product gave everyone the shits, so we gotta stop for a little while.” You would have thought that I just told the dude that we were all gonna die. When I came back, All three execs had their heads in their hands and I think one of them was crying. It must be tough to be an executive in Japan. I’m not sure if they ever fixed the problem. Hell, maybe it doesn’t give Japanese people the shits. Maybe it only affects Americans, Russians and Koreans. Well, at least I got to direct some random Japanese commercials in my life. I guess now I can say I have arrived. Oh yeah, Some of you might recognize the tall blonde Russian dude. His name is Igor Jijikine and he’s always playing a Russian bad guy in stuff. He’s even in the new Indiana Jones movie, probably playing a Russian bad guy or playing Shia LaBeouf’s girlfriend. Someday, I’ll tell you the story about how Igor kept two crazy Yakuza wannabes from killing me on the streets of Tokyo. < less

(1:42) This is a SPoof On Comic-Con... I've said it (Comic-con) so much That I started to hear my self say "Commie-Con". I then thought it would be a funny thing to see as an advertisment. So, if there were a communist convention, this is How I imagine it would best be advertised. Tuned to the Music of Russian COmposer Rachmaninov. ENJOY! Everything thing was done by FLitz Voices, Editing, Lots of Photoshopping < less

(11:17) Wilkmeijer Productions returns with their most ambitious project ever. In honour of the great Boris Yeltsin, we present to you: Philosophy of Boris Yeltsin. The members of Wilkmeijer Productions went to Russia especially for this movie. There they did a lot of research on Yeltsin's life. They met two Yeltsin-philosophers in Yeltsingrad, a place near Stalingrad, and they agreed to be interviewed by Dennis and Ervee in the Netherlands. With the help of true Yeltsin music like Boten Anna from Basshunter and the remix by de Gebroeders Ko, they were also prepared to show us how the dance is done. "It was like a dream come true to interview these people" says Ervee from Wilkmeijer Productions. "I think of Yeltsin every day now" says Dennis from Wilkmeijer Productions. Both agreed that making this movie really changed their lives, they will make more movies about the legacy of Boris Yeltsin, with which they will show you how to become a "drunken pervert" and how to "love Yeltsin like you love a woman". Anyway, watch this movie and let it change your life! Forget about jumpen and jumpstyle, that's just a dance with a huge hype built around it. The Yeltsin Dance is different. Remember: it's more than a dance; it's a philosophy! This interview took place in Zoetermeer on the 10th of August 2007. < less

(2:20) Award-winning Russian filmmaker Sergei Bodrov (PRISONER OF THE MOUNTAINS) illuminates the life and legend of Genghis Khan in his stunning historical epic, MONGOL. Based on leading scholarly accounts and written by Bodrov and Arif Aliyev, MONGOL delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the ruler who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader. MONGOL shows us the making of an extraordinary man, and the foundation on which so much of his greatness rested: his relationship with his wife, Borte, his lifelong love and most trusted advisor. < less
